Deception

Unfaithful Curiousity

"Yes, Ma'am" Stiles said, trying not to stumble over his words.

"Then Mieczyslaw, I believe my curiosity has been sated. It is truly remarkable to see a sorcerer who used to be human. You can go now"

Stiles stopped himself from protesting or looking shocked.

That was it?

He stopped himself from looking at the Lord of Mind, who seemed to be not paying him any attention at all.

"But I'll see you around Mieczyslaw. I expect to see you're handsome face soon"

Stiles stammered "Y-yes Ma'am"

Had the Lord of Mind's Mistress just call him handsome? In front of the Lord of Mind?

She even gave him a wink. Grinning broadly, seemingly to take pleasure from Stiles reaction.

"That will be all" The Lord of Mind said, sounding not that pleased with these interactions.

Stiles had the urge to run. The Lord of Mind, almost seemed to be glaring at his Mistress.

He was sure they'd be having a talk, once he left.

"Yes, my Lord" Stiles said quickly, then standing up and walking hurriedly out of the room.

He let out a breath as the doors closed behind him.

Madam Rucia was standing outside, waiting for him.

"He hates me" Stiles groaned, leaning against the door.

"Lord of Mind?"

Madam Rucia's eyes narrow.

"What did you do?!"

"Nothing, nothing but-but I think..." He trailed of, thinking about how the Mistress had been with him and the Lord of Mind's reactions.

"Madam Rucia has his Mistress, Roseleta, been...unfaithful in the past?" Stiles said hesitantly, unsure how to phase this in the sorcerous world. Different cultures looked at this differently so he was unsure how it worked in this world.

Madam Rucia seemed to relax at that "Ah, its only that, don't worry. Lady Roseleta likes to flirt, especially in front of her lover. She likes to rile him up. She means nothing by it though"

Stiles frowned, shaking his head.

"Are you sure?"

"But I'll see you around Mieczyslaw. I expect to see you're handsome face soon"

"Yes. It won't do you any favours with the Lord of Mind, of course. But she rarely pursues and you are to young after all"

Stiles felt a little more relaxed after that but still...

"He didn't seem very happy with me even before that, I mean-" Stiles started to say but he was interrupted.

"There's no need for that. Our Lord is fair to all his servants. Now come along, you have chores" Madam Rucia said sharply.

Before Stiles could think of protesting or perusing the subject she walked away, nodding at him to follow.

He put all of this to the back of his mind. He didn't need any of this. Why couldn't things be simple for once?

And he honestly thought they could be. The day went normally after that, it was easy to block those thoughts from his mind.

He did his chores. He trained with Kirah. Simple and what had become normal for him.

But it seemed nothing ever could be normal or even simple.

Because the next day, Stiles was told that he was to clean a different bedroom, close to the Lord of Mind's room.

The door looked quite lavish and he opened it, ready to do his job.

He hoped all he needed to do was...

"Why hello Mieczyslaw, it's good to see you. I said it would be soon, didn't I handsome?"

Stiles stared, he tensed, mouth hanging open.

"M-my Lady, Roseleta, what-"

She smiled at him, leaning on her huge bed's frame.

Her gigantic room looked almost like royalty.

"I requested you specifically to clean my room. Now you're here, would you like to...talk?"

Stiles didn't know how to react or what to say.

He just...

Gulped.

This would not end well.
